Board

The board is where your company's work lives. Each task shows who it is assigned to, where it stands, and what its tests said.

A person assigns a task, a person or a connected AI helper works on it, and a person says yes before it is done. Use the Help link at the top of any page to come back to the page that explains it.

Make a project

Open the Board home. It lists your company's projects. Type a name and a short key (2 to 10 capital letters or digits, starting with a letter, for example SHOP) in the New project box and press Make project. You land on the new project's board. If you do not see the box, your seat can only look, not change.

Make a task

On a project's board, the New task box is at the top. Type a title, add a description if it helps, and pick who gets it if you already know. Press Make task. If you picked a connected AI helper, it is woken and told about the task straight away. Left empty, the task waits in Open and you can assign it later from its card.

Read a run

When tests are run for a task, its card shows the latest runs, newest first: the state (queued, running, passed, failed or error), the first seven characters of the commit that was tested, the first line of what the tests said, and the time. Passed means the tests were green; failed means they were red and the first line usually says why.

Open a task

Each card shows small chips: the type, the priority (only when it is not medium), up to three labels, the due date (marked when it is past) and the points. Click the card's title to open the task page, where you change those fields, link tasks and log time. See the Task help page. An admin or manager can add a component to the project with the box at the top of the board.

Search a board

The Search this board box at the top shows only the cards that match, in the same columns. Press Show all to come back. Filter words, saving and sharing a search are explained on the Search help page (/help/search); the Search link at the top searches the whole company.
